Inertial cavitation detection during in-vitro sonothrombolysis
Background Being cardiovascular diseases the leading cause of death worldwide, a prompt intervention is needed to restore blood flow. Sonothrombolysis with/without addiction of thrombolytic drugs is explored as a promising solution, thanks to its non-invasiveness, precision and action quickness. Even if the involved mechanisms are not completely understood, acoustic cavitation seems to play a s...
متن کاملInvadopodia formation in blood clots
Blood clotting specifically supports the metastatic dissemination of malignant cells to the lung. We have recently demonstrated that 2 tumor types that are prone to form lung metastases, renal cell carcinoma and soft tissue sarcoma, share specific adhesive mechanisms that support the invasion and colonization of blood clots in the pulmonary vasculature.
متن کاملIn vitro uterine strain imaging: preliminary results.
OBJECTIVE Uterine abnormalities, such as leiomyomas, endometrial polyps, and adenomyosis, are often clinically associated with irregular uterine bleeding. These abnormalities can have similar B-mode characteristics but require different treatment. The objective of this study was to develop diagnostic techniques based on ultrasound strain imaging that would allow in vivo visualization and charac...
متن کاملUltrasound affects distribution of plasminogen and tissue-type plasminogen activator in whole blood clots in vitro.
Ultrasound of 2 MHz frequency and 1.2 W/cm(2) acoustic intensity was applied to examine the effect of sonication on recombinant tissue-type plasminogen activator (rt-PA)-induced thrombolysis as well as on the distribution of plasminogen and t-PA within whole blood clots in vitro. Thrombolysis was evaluated quantitatively by measuring clot weight reduction and the level of fibrin degradation pro...
متن کاملFibrinolytic Activity and Dose-Dependent Effect of Incubating Human Blood Clots in Caffeic Acid Phenethyl Ester: In Vitro Assays
Background. Caffeic acid phenethyl ester (CAPE) has been reported to possess time-dependent fibrinolytic activity by in vitro assay. This study is aimed at investigating fibrinolytic dose-dependent activity of CAPE using in vitro assays. Methods. Standardized human whole blood (WB) clots were incubated in either blank controls or different concentrations of CAPE (3.75, 7.50, 15.00, 22.50, and 3...
